Tale of Tales ({{lang-ru|Сказка сказок}}, Skazka skazok) is a 1979 Soviet/Russian animated film directed by Yuri Norstein and produced by the Soyuzmultfilm studio in Moscow. It has won numerous awards, has been acclaimed by critics and other animators, and has received the title of greatest animated film of all time in various polls.[1] It has been the subject of a 2005 book by Clare Kitson titled Yuri Norstein and Tale of Tales: An Animator's Journey.

Plot

Tale of Tales, like Tarkovsky's Mirror [2], attempts to structure itself like a human memory. Memories are not recalled in neat chronological order; instead, they are recalled by the association of one thing with another, which means that any attempt to put memory on film cannot be told like a conventional narrative. The film is thus made up of a series of related sequences whose scenes are interspersed between each other. One of the primary themes involves war, with particular emphasis on the enormous losses the Soviet Union suffered on the Eastern Front during World War II. Several recurring characters and their interactions make up a large part of the film, such as the poet, the little girl and the bull, the little boy and the crows, the dancers and the soldiers, and especially the little grey wolf ({{lang-ru|се́ренький волчо́к}}, syeryenkiy volchok). Another symbol connecting nearly all of these different themes are green apples (which may symbolize life, hope, or potential). [3]

Yuri Norstein wrote in Iskusstvo Kino magazine that the film is "about simple concepts that give you the strength to live."[4]

Music and poetry

In addition to the original score composed by Mikhail Meyerovich, this film makes use of several other pieces of music. Excerpts from works by Bach (notably the E flat minor Prelude BWV 853 (from The Well-Tempered Clavier)) and Mozart (the Andante second movement from Piano Concerto No. 4 in G major, K41) are used, and the World War II era tango Weary Sun, written by Jerzy Petersburski, features prominently. However, the most important musical inspiration is the following traditional Russian lullaby, which is included in the film in both instrumental and vocal form.

Баю-баюшки-баю,

Не ложися на краю.

Придёт серенький волчок,

Он ухватит за бочок

И утащит во лесок

Под ракитовый кусток.

Bayu-bayushki-bayu,

Ne lozhisya na krayu.

Pridyot serenkiy volchok,

On ukhvatit za bochok

I utashchit vo lesok

Pod rakitovy kustok.

Baby, baby, rock-a-bye

On the edge you mustn't lie

Or the little grey wolf will come

And will nip you on the tum,

Tug you off into the wood

Underneath the willow-root.

Russian Transliteration English translation

Many situations in the film actually derive from this lullaby, as well as the character of the little grey wolf. Indeed, the film's original title (rejected by the Soviet censors) was The Little Grey Wolf Will Come.

The name Tale of Tales came from a poem of the same name by Turkish poet Nazım Hikmet that Norstein loved since 1962.[1][5]

Стоим над водой -

солнце, кошка, чинара, я

и наша судьба.

Вода прохладная,

Чинара высокая,

Солнце светит,

Кошка дремлет,

Я стихи сочиняю.

Слава Богу, живем!..

Stoim nad vodoy -

solntse, koshka, chinara, ya

i nasha sud'ba.

Voda prochladnaya,

Chinara vysokaya,

Solntse svyetit,

Koshka dryemlyet,

Ya stihi sochinyayu

Slava Bogu, zhivyom!..

We stand above the water -

sun, cat, plane tree, me

and our destiny.

The water is cool,

The plane tree is tall,

The sun is shining,

The cat is dozing,

I write verses.

Thank God, we live!..
